Sorry to be a bother,

  But any program that allows someone to loose data (especially without a
warning), be it buy design or otherwise, is in my option a bug.

  I spent the weekend converting 30 some-odd files before I noticed that this
was happening, I just assumed the program would have warned me if I was about
too truncate some fields and loose data, (my bad).

  To a layperson like me, "fixed column width" says the column should be "22"
chars wide(regardless of the type of font used), not 22 pixels wide(as in
saving a view of whats on the screen),

  The way this is working now, it does not make any difference if I used a
fixed font (yes, I did try it - and same thing) or any other font, I still
would have to scroll through the entire file and see if I could find any of
those little red arrows in any of the cells that tells me my the column is too
narrow for the info to fit in the cell, (I have just over two million rows to
convert in a whole bunch of smaller files).

  I am almost positive that the last time I had to do this it worked as I would
expect, but that was several years back, (somewhere around ubuntu8 or maybe
ubuntu10 and open-office was what was included in the distro.

Sorry for the rant, I don't mean to be a pest.

I would like to put in for a feature request...blablabla

Thanks,
